To begin‚ I must clarify how the brain works. The brain is made up of tiny cells‚ called neurons. They communicate by tiny electric movements called synapses that combine in certain patterns to control everything we do: sleep‚ walk‚ think‚ and feel. The synapses happen as a result of outside stimuli. A clear example is when a person gets too close to a candle. Their nervous system sends the stimulus to the brain‚ which tells the finger to back away from the flame. However‚ the synapses wouldn’t happen

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development consists of four evident phases. The first is referred to as the sensorimotor stage. This stage typically occurs between birth and two years of age. During the sensorimotor stage children at first rely solely on the reflexes (sucking and rooting for example) that they were born with. Intelligence manifests itself through motor activities‚ for example children learn to crawl and walk during this stage. Most of the knowledge acquired during this stage is through
